Never saw so many Ryedales listed on Ebay at one time.

People giving up I suppose. I have hardly used mine because my silver searching has been productive this year.

Could be heavily used and worn out also

I think that a lot of people think that they are going to make easy money. Then they learn that it is hard work and loose interest.

You can't wear them out. I have three of them and the oldest one has had over 4 MILLION pennies run through it and still runs as good as the day I got it.

Mine just keeps running better the more I use it. You got me beat. I am probably just approaching 2 mil cents run through my machine. I used to get more jams, now I barely get any. Ran 200FV last night without one jam (not counting the 1 really bent penny that jammed up in the feed wheel and would not eject)

I think this is most correct... One of many examples; I got a call from a guy on the east coast after telling him sourcing and dumping would blow his profit spread sheet to kingdom come... the conversation went like this after over 2 months:

If I buy a Ryedale will you agree to buy my coppers?
Yes
I bought a Ryedale from Andy, and I have 3 CTU's will you buy them?
Yes
I have 2 more CTU's will you buy them?
Yes
I have one CTU and a slighlty used Ryedale will you buy them both?
Yes, whats the problem?
Sourcing and dumping blew my spread sheet to kingdom come

I love spreadheets.. and I love Ryedales too. If they start going cheap enought I might be a 5th one to add to the hoard.

I can't believe I didn't bother to snipe the apprentice that went for $260 here. Somebody got a screaming deal on it...

I got a new Ryedale Plus for $315 shipped from Andy.
